“If you actually read Russian history, they’re cocky fuckers who’ve spent their entire existence attacking somebody, and with some success too. But for hundreds of years, every 50 to 100 years, somebody beat the absolute shit out of them. Burned Moscow to the ground, wrecked them, crushed them. Then they’d all crawl back into their little shitholes and stew there until they came out with the same imperial ambitions all over again. Every 50 to 100 years, anyone can check: they’ve never had 200 years of peace in a row. Probably not even 100. But this is the first, the very first war of their lives where Ukrainians aren’t fighting on their side, but against them. They’re fucked.”
